1. VOLUME Created by Charell Wingfield

3. What Is Volume??? The measure of the amount of space that a figure encloses. Measured in cubic units. Three–dimensional.

4. Volume of a Prism If a prism has a volume of V cubic units, a height of h units, and each base has an area of B square units, then V=Bh.

5. Example 1 Volume of a Triangular Prism Find the volume of the triangular prism. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the base of the prism. a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Pythagorean Theorem a 2 + 24 2 = 25 2 b = 24, c = 25 a 2 + 576= 625Multiply. a 2 = 49Subtract 576 from each side. a = 7Take the square root of each side. Next, find the volume of the prism. V = Bh Volume of a prism = (7)(24)(16) B = (7)(24), h = 16 = 1344Simplify. The volume of the prism is 1344 cubic meters.

6. Example 2 Volume of a Rectangular Prism STRUCTURES The heaviest door in the world is a radiation shield door in the National Institute for Fusion Science at Toki, Japan. It is 38.5 feet high, 37.4 feet wide, and 6.6 feet thick. Its total weight is 708.6 tons. What is the weight of one cubic yard of the material used to make the door? First, make a drawing. To find the weight of one cubic yard of the material used, first find the volume of the door in cubic feet. V = Bh Volume of a prism = (37.4)(6.6)(38.5) B = (37.4)(6.6), h = 38.5 = 9503.34Simplify. Now convert the volume in cubic feet to cubic yards. Since 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 cubic yard = 3  3  3 or 27 cubic feet. 9503.34 cubic feet = (9503.34) ÷ 27 ≈ 352.0 cubic yards Now divide the total weight of the door by the number of cubic yards. ≈ 2.0 The weight of one cubic yard of the material used to make the door is about 2 tons.

7. Volume of a Cylinder If a cylinder has a volume of V cubic units, a height of h units, and the bases have radii of r units, then V= Bh or V=  r2h.

8. Example 3 Volume of a Cylinder Find the volume of each cylinder. a. The height h is 38.3 centimeters, and the radius r is 11.7 centimeters. V = π r 2 h Volume of a cylinder = π(11.7) 2 (38.3) r = 11.7, h = 38.3 ≈ 16,471.0Use a calculator. The volume is approximately 16,471.0 cubic centimeters.

9. The diameter of the base, the diagonal, and the lateral edge of the cylinder form a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height. a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Pythagorean Theorem h 2 + (45) 2 = (51) 2 a = h, b = 45, c = 51 h 2 + 2025= 2601Multiply. h 2 = 576Subtract 2025 from each side. h = 24Take the square root of each side. Now find the volume. V =  r 2 hVolume of a cylinder =  (22.5) 2 (24)r = 22.5, h = 24  38,170.4 Use a calculator. The volume is approximately 38,170.4 cubic feet.

10. Example 4 Volume of an Oblique Cylinder Find the volume of the oblique cylinder. To find the volume, use the formula for a right cylinder. V = π r 2 h Volume of a cylinder = π(4.4) 2 (13.2) r = 4.4, h = 13.2 ≈ 802.8Use a calculator. The volume is approximately 802.8 cubic meters.

11. Cavalieri’s Principle If two solid have the same height and the same cross–sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume.
